Michael Taylor and Nunley Roderick, pictured above, robbed, raped and killed Ann Harrison.

"At his plea hearing, appellant testified that he and Michael Taylor spent the night of March 21, 1989, using drugs and stealing a car. While driving the stolen car on the morning of March 22, the two men saw a fifteen-year-old girl, Ann Harrison, waiting for her school bus. Taylor stated that he wanted to steal the girl's purse. Appellant stopped the car. Taylor grabbed Ann Harrison and forced her into the car. Appellant drove the car to his mother's house. The two men took Ann Harrison out of the car. They forced her to crawl down to the basement. Taylor raped her. At some point, appellant gave Taylor some lubricant to facilitate the rape.

After the rape, the two men forced Ann Harrison into the car and tied her up. The two men decided to kill her to prevent her from identifying them. Appellant retrieved two knives from the kitchen. Both men stabbed her. The men drove the car to a nearby neighborhood and parked the car, leaving the dying girl in the trunk. She died of multiple stab wounds."

Gregory Davis, pictured above, robbed, raped and killed Addie Reid.

"On March 31, 1987, Gregory Davis, a resident of Jackson, Mississippi, went to Manship Street to visit a friend who lived in an apartment there. Davis arrived at the apartment at around 7:00 p.m., but his friend was not at home. Davis then walked next door to 901 Manship, the home of Addie Reid, an eighty year old widow who lived alone. Davis checked the doors and windows to see if Mrs. Reid was at home and alone. He then unscrewed the light bulb on the front porch. Davis then went around to the back of the house where, using a small table, he entered the house through the bedroom window, which was unlocked. Once inside Davis took eight or ten dollars from Mrs. Reid's purse and then hid behind the bedroom door as Mrs. Reid entered the room. Once she saw Davis, Mrs. Reid began to scream. Davis struck Mrs. Reid several times in the face, and then put his arm around her neck and dragged her from the bedroom into the dining room. After strangling her Davis covered Mrs. Reid's face with a towel and sexually assaulted her. He then left the house through the front door and walked up Manship Street in a westerly direction past a doctor's office. Davis threw Mrs. Reid's purse, a small flashlight, and a jewelry box he had taken from the Reid house onto the roof of the doctor's office."

"What has happened in this case is fundamentally morally wrong. A black man, charged with the capital murder and sexual brutalization of an elderly and apparently defenseless white woman, has been put on trial for his life before an all white jury, a jury seated after the prosecutor was allowed peremptorily to strike all seven black potential jurors. And it was so unnecessary. On this evidence a jury of twelve cerebral eunuchs would have convicted."

Omar Humphrey, pictured above, robbed and killed Virginia Warner Phillips.

"Virginia Warner Phillips lived with her husband, Blue Phillips. Mrs. Phillips was 75 years of age. Her husband was suffering from the latter stages of senile dementia and was entirely dependent upon her. They both lived on the ground floor of their house in Senatobia, Mississippi. Mr. and Mrs. Phillips were assisted by a home health nurse, Mrs. Mary Cossey, as well as Miss Jean Epps who was employed to sit with Mr. Phillips. During the early morning hours of October 31, 1996, someone broke into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Phillips. Between 10.30 and 11.00 a.m. that day Mrs. Cossey, the home health nurse, arrived at her usual time but was unable to gain access to the house. Unusually, the doors were locked, and the shades were drawn. Mrs. Cossey obtained a key from Mrs. Phillips's daughter, Gail Cushman and entered the house. She found Mrs. Phillips on the floor, tied up with duct tape, with a chair and quilt upon her. She was unable to reach Mr. Phillips as the house had apparently been ransacked. Unable to get a dial tone on the telephone, Mrs. Cossey ran screaming from the house and eventually flagged down a passing police officer."

"People might think you are a necrophile if you put up disgusting photos like that on your site."

Emmett Till and the Impact of Images, Photos of Murdered Youth Spurred Civil Rights Activism.

"In 1955, Jet magazine published photographs of the mutilated body of 14-year-old Chicago resident Emmett Till, who was brutally murdered in Mississippi. Many civil rights activists say seeing those pictures both haunted and inspired them. NPR's Noah Adams reports on the decision to publish the photos and the wide-ranging effect they had.

Margaret Block, a long-time activist in Cleveland, Miss., was a young girl when the pictures were published. 'I remember not being able to sleep when I saw [the photos]," she says. "Can you imagine being 11 years old and seeing something like that for the first time in your life and it being close to home? The death of Emmett Till touched us, it touched everybody. And we always said if we ever got a chance to do something, we were going to change things around here.'

For Charles Cobb, a Washington, D.C., journalist and author, the photos were also a catalyst to activism. Cobb first saw the pictures when he was 12 years old. He went on to develop the 'Freedom Schools' that mobilized black voters throughout Mississippi in 1964."

Images Make Movements

Mrs. Till told the media, “I want the whole world to see what they did to my baby.”

Elroy Chester above, awaiting death scene photographs of Willie ("Billy") Ryman.

[33] [Chester] then raped Erin vaginally, on the floor, next to her sister. When he was done and had removed himself from on top of her, Erin tried to get up, but [Chester] pulled her over to where he was now sitting in a chair, and forced her to perform oral sex on him. [Chester] kept the gun next to Erin's forehead and threatened to shoot her if she tried to bite him. After the oral sex, Erin moved to the floor area at one side of the room, and [Chester] ordered Claire to perform oral sex on him, which she did. He repeated the same threat that he would shoot her if she bit him.

[34] At this point, a car approached the house. [Chester] heard the car, ran into the kitchen to dress himself, and went to stand by the side door to wait for the person approaching, who turned out to be Willie ("Billy") Ryman, Kim Ryman's brother and the girls' uncle. Billy would often come to the house to check on the girls, when he knew their mother was at work. Billy opened the door and turned on the light. [Chester] yelled at him to come inside, and, upon entering, he shot him. Billy fell to the ground immediately, and [Chester] dragged his body into th kitchen, where Billy eventually died. [Chester then ran out of the house. Claire got up and locked the side door, locking him out of the house.

[35] Billy's girlfriend Marcia Sharp had been waiting outside in Billy's truck in the driveway while he went up to the house. Marcia heard the gunshot fired at Billy but thought perhaps it was a car backfiring. Moments later, she saw [Chester] run out of the house and then try to go back in, after realizing that he had been locked out by Claire. [Chester] then approached the truck on the passenger side, where Marcia was sitting. The door was unlocked but, just as he reached for the handle, Marcia locked it. [Chester] was now wearing his mask again. He pulled out his gun and shot once at the lock on the car door. He then noticed that the driver's door was unlocked, so he ran around to the driver's side of the truck, but Marcia quickly reached over and locked that door, too. [Chester] shot twice at the lock on the driver's door, but it did not open. He then stepped back, looked at Marcia, and shot twice more at the driver's door window. None of the gunshots hit Marcia. He then ran down the street, away from the house. The events at the Ryan DeLeon home were the culmination of a six-month spree of criminal activity by [Chester], in which he burglarized at least five residences, sexually assaulted two people, murdered at least five people, and fired shots at no fewer than five others . . .

Source: THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS TEXARKANA DIVISION

Summary of incident - On February 6, 1998, in Port Arthur, Chester broke into the residence of Kim Ryman Deleon. Chester raped her 14 year old and 16 year old daughters. Willie Ryman III (uncle to the girls) entered the home and was shot and killed by Chester. Chester took jewelry from the home and fled the scene. While in police custody, Chester confessed to this crime, two other murders, and three attempts to commit capital murder. Chester stated that he committed these offenses because he was out his mind "with hate for white people" due to a disagreement with a white staff member over a disciplinary report during a previous TDCJ incarceration.

   audio_icon.gif - 67 Bytes William S. Lind (Listen MP3) --- 'The Next Conservatism' by Paul M. Weyrich & William S. Lind --- 01/25/2010

You’d think the last testament of a founding father of the Religious Right would be a grand strategy for church conquest of the state. But the late Weyrich and Lind, his longtime associate in the Free Congress Foundation, say conservatives should give less time to electoral politicking and more to other ways of reviving republican government, combatting “cultural Marxism” (ideologies hostile to traditional social institutions and mores, such as those of the panoply of “liberation” movements), and restoring national, economic, and moral security. If that doesn’t sound much different from old conservatives’ stated aims, the means Weyrich and Lind propose include many things current conservatives are supposed to despise, including racial integration, well-paying jobs, election reform favoring new candidates and parties, organic farming and gardening, anti-imperialism, a smaller military, and relying on the exemplary power of living and behaving well—and not on political power—to achieve religious goals. The only slogan they advance is “Think locally, act locally,” though they sometimes bring to mind “Small is beautiful.” Principle may be returning to American conservatism. --Ray Olson

   audio_icon.gif - 67 Bytes Jim Giles Speaks (Listen MP3) --- Janeen Read is Dead --- 01/24/2010

Awaiting the mugshot of David Lewis Green and the death scene photographs of Janeen Read.

Officer Jeff Smith is the crime-scene investigator who investigated the scene of Janeen's murder. He testified that they found Janeen's body on her bed, that there was a lot of blood on the bed and "her hair was soaked in blood." The largest concentration of blood "was near the footboard and on the large pillow that was at the footboard of the bed." Officer Smith collected physical evidence and fingerprints from the crime scene. Three of the fingerprints he collected were located on the footboard of Janeen's bed and "looked to be three fingers side by side, simultaneously placed on the bed." He testified that the prints were found on the footboard in a position that would have required the person leaving the prints to "have had their back to the headboard" of the bed. The fingerprints "were on top of the top rail as if it was used for a brace or something." Officer Smith testified that those prints "sent up a red flag for [him]" because they were "oriented over the concentration of blood where the victim probably died." Officer Smith identified State's exhibit 30 as a photograph of "a lamp that's been knocked over on the end table, which would be on the left side of the bed." The lamp "indicated that a struggle had taken place in that room" because the rest of the house "was immaculate, very clean." Officer Smith testified that when he observed Janeen's body, his "first thought was that the victim had probably been raped" because "[t]he body was positioned with her legs hanging off the bed. But, also, her shirt was pulled up, exposing her breasts. And her panties had been pulled off and were laying on the floor directly under her feet." He found a used tampon on the floor under the bed, which he described as "highly irregular" because it was otherwise "the cleanest house" in which he had "ever worked a crime scene." Officer Smith and a person from the medical examiner's office saw wounds on Janeen's head. Officer Smith did not determine what weapon caused those injuries, but when asked whether the footboard of Janeen's bed could have caused them, Smith answered "[a]bsolutely."

"Once in the bedroom, defendant pushed Jacob to the floor and JoAna onto the bed. Defendant continued to search for money and again threatened to kill the Bollingers. He then returned to the bed, lowered his pants and forced JoAna to perform oral sex upon him, as Jacob sat next to the bed watching. According to Jacob, defendant then raped JoAna vaginally and anally. Jacob stated that, during these acts, defendant slashed JoAna's back with the knife and that, in reaction, Jacob moved. Defendant then grabbed JoAna's hair, cut off a large piece, threw it at Jacob, and told Jacob not to move, or he would cut JoAna's throat."

After defendant threw the hair at Jacob, he told Jacob to lie down on the floor next to the bed. Jacob did so. Defendant continued to rape JoAna. Defendant then got up, pulled Jacob up from the floor, pushed him against the bed with a knee in his back and tied a pair of long-johns around his throat. Jacob looked up and saw that JoAna was lying on the bed, "white and real pale" and that "she was alive, but she didn't look alive." Jacob then began to fight back. Jacob grabbed the long-johns and started pulling on them, trying to get air. Defendant then hit Jacob in the back of the head.

Detective Dwyer of the Richmond Police Department then discovered Stella in the basement under a futon "with her hands behind her back, tape around her mouth." Bryan was discovered on the floor of the basement with orange electrical cord wrapped around his wrists and feet, with "melted tape around his face [and a] large wound to his neck area." Detective Dwyer also found two claw hammers, two broken wine bottles, a knife handle and a separate knife blade in the basement. Those items, as well as several photographs of the scene, were admitted into evidence at trial.

An autopsy revealed that Bryan had been cut eight times in his neck and underneath his chin, and those wounds, although "[v]ery painful," were not immediately fatal. His mouth had been gagged and taped. Six lacerations were made to the left side and back of Bryan's skull, each caused by blows from a hammer. He experienced severe third degree burns to his skin. Bryan died from the wounds to his skull.

Necklacing (sometimes called necklace) refers to the practice of summary execution carried out by forcing a rubber tire (tyre), filled with gasoline, around a victim's chest and arms, and setting it on fire.

The practice became a common method of lethal lynching during disturbances in South Africa in the 1980s and 1990s. The first recorded instance took place in Uitenhage on 23 March 1985 when African National Congress (ANC) supporters killed a councillor who was suspected of being a collaborator.[1] The victim may take up to 20 minutes to die, suffering severe burns in the process.

INJURIES

GUNSHOT WOUND #1: This is a gunshot wound whose entrance is located in the left lower lip, approximately 7 1/2" down from the top of the head and 0.5" to the left of midline. The wound is roughly rounded, approximately 0.2" in diameter. No obvious powder residues - soot or stippling surrounds this wound. This wound track passes through the lip and strikes the mandible. The mandible is fractured and the canine and two 1st premolar teeth are absent. The crown of the 1st molar has been displaced and is present. The track passes through the base of the tongue and emerges posteriorly. The bullet strikes the posterior oropharynx and is recovered there. It is a considerably distorted lead bullet consistent with a .22 caliber. One additional fragment of bullet is recovered from the base of the tongue. The overall direction of this wound is from the front to the back.

GUNSHOT WOUND #2: This is a gunshot wound whose entrance is located in the left superior-posterior parietal region approximately 4 1/2" up from and 1 1/2" posterior to the left external auditory meatus. It is within the hairline. The wound is roughly rounded, 0.2" in overall dimension. There is no apparent powder residue present around the wound. Located anteriorly and inferiorly to the previously described defect and 0.8" away is a 0.1" irregular scalp laceration. Located on the left cheek in the area of the malar prominence, 5" down from the top of the head and 1 1/2" anterior to the external auditory meatus, is a crescent shaped 0.3" x 0.1" laceration. A probe can be passed from the area of entrance through the tissues to the site of apparent exit in the left cheek. The exit is approximately 5" from the entrance. Internally, it is noted that the bullet has struck the left parietal bone. There is a slightly rounded, inshoot margin located superiorly and posteriorly and then some irregular fractures extending inferiorly and anteriorly. Internally it is noted that the bullet or some portion of the bullet has entered the cranial vault and lacerated the surface of the left parietal lobe of the brain and then exited near the junction of the squamous portion of the left temporal bone and the parietal bone before travelling through the subcutaneous tissues to exit in the left cheek. There is disruption of the surface of the brain and areas of subarachnoid and subdural hemorrhage on the brain. A small fragment of lead is recovered from the soft tissues adjacent to the outshoot in the skull. The overall direction of this wound is downwards and forward.

Michael Thorpe, above left and Jennifer Ross.

The evidence adduced at trial reflected that, in the early morning hours of December 24, 2005, appellant, co-defendant Wilson, and appellant's uncle, Sean Thorpe, were riding around downtown Savannah in a grey Ford Taurus driven by co-defendant Huckabee. Earlier that evening, appellant and his three companions had been telling friends gathered at a friend's apartment that they needed to "get a lick," which meant commit a robbery, because they needed some Christmas money. After losing sight of their first robbery target, the foursome spotted victims Ross and Finley walking down the street with two friends, Elizabeth Sprague and Brannen Miles, slightly behind them. Appellant and Wilson, both armed with guns, exited the car with Sean Thorpe, while Huckabee waited in the car. Appellant and Wilson hid as the victims approached; Sean Thorpe went behind a nearby tree.

As the victims walked by, appellant and Wilson jumped out and hit Finley on the head with his weapon, whereupon the gun discharged. A round from a different gun was fired and struck Ross. Sean Thorpe fled the scene on foot upon hearing the gunshots; appellant, Wilson, and Huckabee fled in the Taurus and picked up Sean Thorpe shortly thereafter. Finley survived the attack. Ross, however, died of her gunshot wound a few days later. Expert testimony established that two bullet casings recovered from the crime scene had markings consistent with being fired from weapons in the possession of appellant and Wilson on the night of the crime.

At trial, Finley identified Wilson as his attacker. Sprague, who had witnessed the attack, also identified Wilson as the one who had hit Finley with his gun. Miles, though unable to positively identify any of the perpetrators, testified that as he was fleeing he saw one of the attackers get into a grey Ford Taurus. Finley and Miles both testified that there were three people involved in the attack.

These events were also related by Sean Thorpe, who testified for the State and also authenticated a secretly recorded telephone conversation between him and appellant, in which appellant confirmed that he shot the murder victim. Other witnesses testified as to various statements made by appellant acknowledging that the robbery had gone awry because the murder victim "bucked" when they had tried to get her purse. In addition, Thorpe testified as to the foursome's agreement to conceal their roles in and knowledge of the crime and described how, after Ross' death became public, he helped appellant and Wilson dispose of appellant's gun in a river.

Trial testimony also established that the gray Ford Taurus driven by Huckabee on the night of the crime had been stolen, at the request of appellant and Huckabee, by a friend of the three co-defendants from a car dealership at which he worked.

7. From December 12 through December 14, 2009, Defendant sent several e-mails over the Internet to a self-described "white movement" radio talk show host in violation of this Court's conditions of release. Defendant sent the emails in order to request an appearance on a radio show to discuss his criminal case and that of another white supremacist defendant.

8. On December 14, 2009, Defendant communicated with the talk show host using Skype, an Internet-based telephone service, in violation of this Court's conditions of release. Defendant specifically requested that he be interviewed using Skype and asked the radio host to contact Defendant via Skype prior to the actual interview. In the ensuing conversation, the radio host told Defendant that Skype is Internet-based and using it violates Defendant's conditions of release. Defendant replied that he knew using Skype was in violation of this Court's Order and that he had asked to talk with the host prior to the interview in order to tell him not to mention the fact that they were using the Internet.

Jim Giles of Richland, a private citizen and outspoken proponent of conservative causes, had driven to campus for the speech. He thundered at Scalia that the University's ban of flags on sticks in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium was just a "pretext to ban the Confederate flag. How isn't that unconstitutional?" Scalia paused, then answered slowly, with a wave of his hand. "I have no idea." The crowd laughed and applauded.

DR. WILLIAM L. PIERCE, founder and Chairman of the National Alliance, died on July 23, 2002, after a battle with cancer lasting less than one month. Prior to his sudden disability, Dr. Pierce maintained his 80-hours-per-week schedule of writing, broadcasting, publishing, and organizing on behalf of people of European descent around the world, a regimen which he continued almost without interruption for 36 years. Standing far above his contemporaries, history will rank William Pierce with Shaw and Nietzsche as a visionary who saw clearly what European Man could become; and he will also be recognized as a great man of action who made his ideals concrete in an organization, the National Alliance, which will continue his Mission beyond his physical life.

The National Alliance, Incorporated:
A ZOG False Flag Combat Cell?
by Maguire [2002]

The key to understanding the National Alliance (NA) is understanding the real structure of the NA. The National Alliance is a private for-profit corporation chartered by the Commonwealth of Virginia (not West Virginia).

The NA has stockholders, officers, directors and customers. Dr. Pierce's 'chairmanship' was always chairman of the Board of Directors of this Virginia for profit corporation. The constant introduction of Dr. Pierce as 'Chairman' started in the days when the 'Chairman' of the Communist Party of the USSR was a political figure of importance. The listener was invited to conclude Dr. Pierce was a political figure with the title of 'Chairman', although his chairmanship was of a corporation he owned and operated.

The Virginia Secretary of the Commonwealth's corporate data website reports the current 2003 officers as:

OFFICERS/DIRECTORS DISPLAY FOR AR# 203-14-2156
L T NAME TITLE SIGN
B FRED GENE STREED PRESIDENT
B KATHERINE MOLZ VICE PRESIDENT
B ROBERT A DEMARAIS SECRETARY
B ERICH J GLIEBE CHAIRMAN

The National Alliance's publicly registered Virginia address is: 1330 GORDEN WALL CIR APT 402, RESTON, VA 20194. The true spelling is GARDEN WALL CIRCLE. The Fairfax County tax assessor's website reports this address is a condominium owned by NA Vice President Katherine Molz. This address is just outside Washington DC in Fairfax County. The NA's registered address in Fairfax County, Virginia gives it many famous neighbors, including the CIA.

This privately owned corporation is a media company. It has three major profit centers.

The foremost profit center is Resistance Records, a subsidiary the NA owns as Resistance LLC. Resistance Records markets "White Power Music" and related paraphernalia to young white males. This business is 'Chairman' Erich Gliebe's real focus. It's what he did before Dr. Pierce died and it's what he concentrates on now.

The second profit center is National Vanguard Books. The NA's secretary, Dr. Robert DeMarais - a former professor of business - continues to operate National Vanguard Books as he did before Dr. Pierce's death.

The third profit center is 'membership dues'. For all practical purposes these National Alliance memberships are merely 'fan club' memberships in what we can fairly term the Dr. William Pierce Fan Club.

This is identical to other fan clubs for famous celebrities. These memberships do not confer ownership (i.e. stock). Nor are the corporate officers and directors accountable to the 'members'. This is why the NA even solicits anonymous memberships. What the 'member' purchases is a false sense of belonging to an organization that is doing something.

The National Alliance, Incorporated, uses two principle forms of advertising to market to its target demographic of young white males. The major advertising channel is the "American Dissident Voices" radio broadcast. Since Dr. Pierce's death Kevin Strom has resumed doing the ADV broadcasts. The American Dissident Voices show was really Kevin Strom's creation. He organized the original shortwave and small town AM/FM network in the 1990s, provided the technical support and occasionally stood in for Dr. Pierce.

The other 'advertisment' is the midnight 'literature distributions' conducted by the so-called 'Local Units' (i.e. the local Dr. Pierce fan club chapters). This involves spreading NA, Inc approved flyers in neighborhood driveways. The principle objective of these flyer distributions is to get people to contact the National Alliance's main e-commerce website.

The National Alliance and the Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai B'rith: A Symbiotic Relationship

The second morning after each literature distribution the local newspaper always runs an Anti-Defamation League written template article about 'hate'. This boilerplate article serves both the National Alliance and the Anti-Defamation League's fund raising goals. The ADL routinely hails the NA as the "most dangerous organization in America", even though ADL 'investigators' have long known about the NA's true structure. The entire transaction scares up more donations for the ADL from neurotic Jews while also recruiting still more customers for the NA.

This mechanism is also the major reason why the pro-white movement is teeming with so many criminals and borderline psychotics.[Emphasis added.] The NA's only positive goal is to maximize its own profits, just like any other private corporation. In the furtherance of this profit goal the National Alliance, Incorporated has willingly allowed its ostensible deadly enemy, the Masonic Jewish supremacists of B'nai B'rith, to define the pro-white cause for the American public.

With minor variations this business model has now been operating for three decades, ever since the National Alliance was incorporated in 1974.

Failure of the "Non-Movement"

There was never any possibility for the NA to progress beyond media operations into becoming a civil and political leadership cadre. The National Alliance, Incorporated collectively can no more participate in direct local politics than can Texaco or IBM. The corporation laws of the State of Virginia debar this. Those in editorial control of National Alliance can exert a background influence on the social and political environment. But this influence will always be proportional to their circulation.

Since the NA's circulation is very broad in geographical scope, and the content irrelevant to local conditions or people, the resulting influence is also very superficial. Probably non-existent is a better term. Marc Moran in New Jersey recently discovered the illusionary nature of the existing 'non-Movement' when he attempted venturing into local politics.

Enter Vanguard News Network and ShopWhite

The Vanguard News Network is currently in the final stages of opening an eBay clone called "ShopWhite". What Bill White and Alex Linder of VNN are doing is making a transparent move on Resistance Records' (the NA's major profit center) consumer base. Presently a White Power Band has very limited options open to it for marketing. They can market through Panzerfaust Records or they can sell through the NA subsidiary, Resistance Records.

White and Linder intend to use ShopWhite to capture Resistance Records' White Power music and paraphenalia market. As Bill White said recently, ShopWhite will be a sole proprietorship with himself as sole proprietor. We can add ShopWhite to his NORFED redemption center franchise and other commercial internet activities.

There's a fair amount of money at stake here. The total revenue stream for White Power music CDs and paraphernalia is probably $3 mil to $5 mil per year. To this can added books, tapes and videos of various kinds. Bill White intends to snag 10% or so of this revenue stream for himself. Emphasis on 'so'.

This underlies all the recent smoke on www.overthrow.com about Kevin Strom, Erich Gliebe and others. The Kevin Strom flap is a secondary attack on the NA's major advertising channel (American Dissident Voices) and an indirect attack on Eric Gliebe and Resistance Records.

It is crucial to the success of this effort that it not be seen for the commercial ploy it really is. This is because the customers would be awakened to their own real status both with the NA and in under ShopWhite. White and Linder cannot openly admit they are now commercial competitors with Gliebe, Demarais & Company.

The immediate struggle is a fight over control of existing White Power paraphernalia consumers. It will not add more strength or organization to the unorganized pro-white population, advance them towards political power, or develop subordinate community leaders. Bill White says this will happen but what else could he say? Crucial to the endeavor is maintaining the illusion the 'Movement' as it presently exists is something other than a media marketing scheme.

Alex Linder (and Bill White to a degree) are more honest about what's up than Dr. Pierce ever was. So this may be a healthy puff of fresh air. We'll see how close White comes to eBay openess. Dr. Pierce always maintained a pretense that the NA was some sort of collective organization. The reality is the NA is and always was a private for-profit media company partly organized on the lines of Amway. But it was not as aggressive. Nor was it as effective in sinking in its roots locally for reasons seen above and below.

Neither VNN or its ShopWhite enterprise are going to 'overthrow' the NA, although it will probably reduce NA Inc's profits and cut into its market share. The NA is a private corporation incorporated by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Any thinking person by now is wondering why the government has never taken the simple step of revoking the corporate charter of this 'dangerous terrorist organization', as it's called by the ADL and its agentur in the FBI and the Department of Justice 'Anti-Terrorism Task Force'. They've always had it in their power to do this but found it convenient not to do so for some reason.

The Political Persecution of Chester Doles

Chester Doles occupied a unique place in the National Alliance. He was the most powerful 'NA leader' who was not actually an employee or director of the National Alliance, Incorporated. By his own efforts and dynamism he had raised his particular local unit in Georgia to several hundred members. Unlike the other delivery boy operations Doles' unit was acquiring real independent life and a community character.

Most notable about this unit was its concentration in a small rural area. These 'members' were thus less useful to the NA's business model, while Mr. Doles himself was a dangerous potential competitor. Shortly before his arrest by the ADL lawyers occupying Department of Justice offices, Mr. Doles openly broke with and resigned from the National Alliance. He had complained on several occasions about the large number of Federal, ADL and SPLC informers within the National Alliance.

Following Dole's arrest the officers and directors of the National Alliance, Inc., tried to abandon Mr. Doles. Alex Linder and VNN initiated the Chester Doles/Goy Genius challenge to raise $50,000 for Mr. Doles defense. This succeeded and former US Congressman and district attorney Robert Barr has now undertaken Mr. Doles' legal defense against charges lodged by Michael Chertoff, a director of the ADL and Bush political appointee to the Department of Justice.

[NB: NA members eventually raised $75,000 dollars for Doles' defense. They employed Robert Barr's firm, but Barr himself did not take the case and never appeared in court at Doles' side. Doles was fobbed off with a junior counsel who pleaded him guilty after the FBI threatened to indict and imprison Doles' wife Teresa as well, thus depriving Doles' large family of young White children of both parents at once and possibly having those children seized by the state and dispersed to foster homes.$75,000 for a guilty plea and an eight year prison sentence in maximum security. That has some be some kind of Movement record for pissing money up against a wall.]

Political police in all regimes often use a tactic called a false flag front or combat cell. This operation involves setting up a front organization that appears to be a real opposition group.

The purposes of false flag operations are to capture control of and thus disrupt and prevent any real political opposition from emerging. Potential dissidents are both identified by this means and their efforts and resources diverted into fruitless endeavors. Is the National Alliance, Incorporated a ZOG false flag? This charge has been hurled previously. Let us consider the evidence anew.

1. The private corporation structure and Dr. Pierce's explicit policies permanently foreclosed any attempts at participating in civil politics. Within the closed cult world of the NA that day of civil participation and legitimacy always lies somewhere off in an indeterminate future. As with the 'Rapture' the precise timing is unknown, is inherently unknowable, but it is coming Soon. In practice the current corporate leadership's tenure always expires before that day arrives. 'But it is coming Real Soon. And while you wait, buy cds, books and donate money.'

2. None of the real officers, directors, stockholders or employees of this 'dangerous terrorist group' have ever been arrested. They appear to possess a teflon immunity from police interference, even when they harbor international fugitives like Hendrik Moebus.

3. The simple method of destroying this 'dangerous terrorist organization', revoking its Virginia corporate charter, has never been used. The lawyers of the Deparment of Justice, the FBI and the ADL have long been aware of National Alliance, Incorporated. It's a matter of public record.

4. Chester Doles, the most effective leader outside the NA's corporate structure, was arrested. NA Incorporated first tried to abandon him. His defense fund was raised by a revolt among its fans.

Whether the officers, directors, stockholders or employees of NA Incorporated are conscious agents is really irrelevant. "By their fruits ye shall know them", said one Teacher. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck....

THE SUPREME COURT OF MISSISSIPPI, No. 2006-KA-01792-SCT:

8. Allen Lewis discovered McGuffee's lifeless body. Lewis's emergency call was received at 11:50 a.m., and the first dispatch unit arrived by 12:01 p.m. According to Barrett, McGuffee "had two gunshot wounds to the forehead, . . . an exit wound to his cheek, . . . a gunshot wound in his left eye, and another one in the back of his head that was the entrance wound." An autopsy confirmed four gunshot wounds caused McGuffee's death. Upon arriving at the scene, Charlotte informed the police that the Mustang was missing from the car lot, and Barrett then determined that keys were missing to "[a] green Ford Mustang and a black Jeep Cherokee."

The following allegations were sent to RFM. Are they facts or fiction?

The Self-Promotion of David Duke

"David Duke has been a professional racist for his entire adult life," wrote Tyler Bridges, author of The Rise of David Duke, a biography of Duke's early years. "He deeply believes his anti-Semitic political philosophy, but it has also been a way for him to get money from his followers. It is how he makes a living."

Duke has spent virtually his entire career living off the kindness of strangers-people who mistakenly thought he was championing their cause for no other reason than a desire to help whites. He sold and resold supposedly secret mailing lists, raised money under false pretenses, and lived off the proceeds of fund-raising for at least 10 different political campaigns. He womanized shamelessly and spent thousands on cosmetic surgery for himself, including liposuction to his buttocks. From his formative years as a supposed National Socialist right up to the present, David Duke's foremost concern always has been David Duke. For 30 years now, America's best-known white supremacist has engaged in a striking pattern of financial chicanery and self-serving rip-offs.

Duke Ernest Duke has one paramount skill which he has exhibited throughout his whole life: an incredible ability to re-invent himself. He does it every few years. From National Socialist, to Klansman, to suit-and-tie-racist, to state legislator and political wheeler-dealer, to quasi-intellectual author, to globe-trotting celebrity collecting meaningless honorary degrees from Eastern European universities no one ever heard of, to "prison martyr" to "elder statesman of the Movement," Duke has packed a dozen lifetimes of bushwah into one.

Duke's refusal to be fettered by any considerations of truth or honesty, combined with a total, complete, and utter shamelessness unparalleled even in the notably shameless White movement, have made him the Movement's premier operator and public figure. Along with Dr. William L. Pierce, Duke can probably be considered as being one of the Movement's success stories in the purely personal sense. He has lived a life of excitement, adventure, and luxury, and all on somebody else's dime. Unlike Ed Fields, who practiced as a chiropractor for some years, and Dr. William L. Pierce who at least did a couple or years as an assistant college professor in the 1960s, at age 57 David Duke can honestly say that he has never worked a single day in his life. Duke has been in more tight corners than a feather duster. He has stolen what has to be millions of dollars down through the years, and he's only done one short prison sentence. No one else in the Movement can match that record except for Pierce, who may have stolen slightly less but who never did a day behind bars.

David Ernest Duke began his racial career while a college student, as a member of Matt Koehl's NSWPP for a brief period of time. Duke has always tried to disavow or deny this period in his life, but his enemies still to this day glory in publishing a photo of Duke taken in 1971 while he was picketing the student union at LSU, wearing a brown shirt and Swastika armband. When confronted with this photo in circumstances where he can't slither out of it, Duke harrumphs and says his Nazi period was a "youthful mistake."

During one of his trips to Arlington, Virginia, in about 1971, Duke stopped by to visit Dr. Pierce of the National Alliance across Interstate 95 from the NSWPP headquarters. According to Rick Cooper, Dr. Pierce offered to give David Duke the information regarding Matt Koehl's homosexual background if Duke would publish this information in his Klan publication at the time, The Crusader. Duke refused, for reasons which remain obscure; why he would wish to maintain the secret of a highly placed homosexual in the Movement is unknown. After visiting Dr. Pierce, Duke visited Matt Koehl at the NSWPP headquarters.

Subsequently, Duke spoke with an NSWPP duty officer, James N. Mason, and told Mason of Dr. Pierce's offer. Jim Mason, years later, told this to Cooper who then wrote to Duke, asking for an account, confirmation or denial that Dr. Pierce made such an offer. Duke never replied.

David Duke first got caught with his hand in the till in 1972, shortly after he temporarily dropped out of Louisiana State University to devote himself to full-time neo-Nazi activism, according to Bridges' book. Police arrested Duke and three others for allegedly raising $500 for George Wallace's presidential campaign and pocketing the money. The charges were dropped after an influential Duke mentor convinced Wallace campaign officials to change their story.

By 1974, Duke had founded the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and it wasn't long before he became the media's favorite Klan leader. Vowing to modernize the Klan, he urged his acolytes to "get out of the cow pasture and into hotel meeting rooms." After appearing on Tom Snyder's Tomorrow talk show, he was able to use his newfound celebrity to recruit Louis Beam, Don Black and Tom Metzger, who each went on to play key roles in America's White Nationalist movement.

During this same period, starting with a failed 1975 bid for the Louisiana state senate, Duke began a series of political campaigns. It appears certain they were at least partly funded with money taken from his Klan group's coffers.

Before long, several of Duke's most intimate allies began to grow weary of his self-serving personality and his constant, unquenchable greed for money. William Pierce, who Duke had begun corresponding with when the Louisianan was still a teenager, admonished Duke to quit taking credit for an important Pierce pamphlet, Who Runs the Media? Others in the racist movement angrily responded to Duke's notorious womanizing, which was almost pathological. Duke hit on any female he saw, literally within a matter of minutes of meeting her-single women, married women, female reporters, waitresses, women he saw on the street, it didn't matter. His sexual obsession approached the medical condition known as satyriasis. Word soon got out that no one could trust their wives, daughters, sisters, or for that matter mothers alone in David Duke's presence, and many Duke functions to this day turn into an elaborate dance or game to try and keep Duke away from any attractive females present.

Duke's shady financial dealings grew harder and harder to conceal as well. As the 1970s drew to a close, with growing numbers of followers deserting his Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Duke was accused by several Klan officials of stealing his organization's money. "Duke is nothing but a con artist," Jack Gregory, Duke's Florida state leader, told the Clearwater (Fla.) Sun after his boss allegedly refused to turn over proceeds from a series of 1979 Klan rallies to the Knights.

In 1979, after his first, abortive run for president (as a Democrat) and a series of highly publicized violent Klan incidents, Duke quietly incorporated the nonprofit National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP) in an attempt to leave the baggage of the Klan behind. But before he made it public, he contacted Bill Wilkinson, a former Duke underling who now headed a rival Klan group.

Duke invited Wilkinson to a remote Alabama farmhouse where he offered to sell for $35,000 his secret membership list-a cardinal offense for a Klan leader who had promised to keep his members' names secret at all costs. Wilkinson had feigned interest, but secretly invited two reporters to witness the transaction. Duke and his disciple, Don Black, were caught on video and audiotape as they handed a brown paper bag filled with index cards with his members' names to Wilkinson. Three days later, after Duke's sellout had received national publicity, he publicly announced the formation of the NAAWP, attacking Wilkinson as he did so. He said he was trying to get away from "the Hollywood image" of the Klan.

In May of 1981, David Duke became involved in one of the most bizarre episodes in the history of the White Nationalist movement, and considering the incredible profusion of bizarre incidents in our Movement, that's saying a lot. This was the abortive invasion of the Caribbean island of Dominica by a team of "mercenaries" recruited from Canadian organized crime, as well as from Harold Covington's North Carolina NSPA unit, all of whom were arrested on the word of an informer while passing through Duke's New Orleans turf on their way to the "invasion." Duke's exact role in this bizarre fiasco has never been completely explained, but Duke was apparently the liaison between former [black] Dominican Prime Minister Patrick John and the "hit team." John was seeking to overthrow the government of Eugenia Charles, and in exchange for the band of hired guns provided by Duke agreed to build a casino on the island for the Canadian mob. Presumably, somewhere along the line, Duke would have gotten a cut, or at least a line of credit. Duke's fascination with Caribbean casino gambling appears to have roots a lot farther back than the incidents he eventually went to prison for.

Duke slithered out of this one by co-operating fully with federal prosecutors and testifying fully and extensively before a grand jury, spilling his guts under a grant of immunity. Afterward, as with so much else that is shameful and treacherous in Duke's past, this episode was simply air-brushed out of the picture.

(Conversely Covington, who was only peripherally implicated and who had advised strongly against the whole hare-brained thing from the beginning, took a far more honorable course when he refused immunity, took the Fifth Amendment on all questions, and at a good deal of personal risk to himself refused to testify even to his own name when he was subpoenaed by the New Orleans grand jury.)

Tyler Bridges, who was then an investigative reporter for the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper, revealed in 1989 that Duke secretly owned two companies. The first, Americana Books, sold racial books from his legislative office, in the basement of his home, which was technically illegal, although admittedly Louisiana legislators have always had a very laid-back attitude on legal matters. The second, Business Consultant & Enterprises (BC&E), was set up by Duke in 1978. Tax returns filed by the NAAWP showed that it had paid BC&E $119,625 from 1983 to 1988 for "mailing list maintenance."

Duke's short-lived 1979-1980 campaign for president, Bridges revealed, also had paid BC&E $19,900 to rent space in Duke's home. "In sum," Bridges writes in his book, "BC&E - i.e., Duke - from 1983 to 1988 [when Duke ran for president on the far-right Populist Party ticket] received $141,000 from the NAAWP and Duke's [two] presidential campaigns." The arrangement was apparently legal.

In 1987, Duke and Don Black traveled to Forsyth County, Ga., to take advantage of simmering racial tension between blacks and the Klan. After they were arrested and charged with reckless conduct during a shouting match with a black man, Duke set up a defense fund for himself that had an almost identical name to another fund set up to aid 62 white supremacists who'd been arrested earlier. After raising at least $8,000 from backers who mistakenly believed they were helping the 62 men arrested with Duke and Black, Duke ultimately pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge. He was fined a grand total of $55.

It was in the late 1980s that Duke began a series of more serious campaigns for political office. He had enough political savvy to understand that parading around with a swastika armband, as he had done during his college days, would be counterproductive. So he toned down the vitriol and avoided the crudest rhetoric. He also dyed his hair blond and visited a plastic surgeon to reduce the size of his nose. A chin implant altered his profile and chemical peels removed bags and wrinkles around his eyes. On at least two occasions, Duke also had liposuction to his buttocks, since obviously we can't have a Great White Leader with a fat ass, now, can we?

Duke's 1988 Populist Party presidential campaign was a miserable failure, with him taking just 48,267 votes - 0.05 percent of the total. But he was not discouraged. And in 1989, masquerading as a born-again Republican, Duke ran for a seat in the Louisiana state legislature and narrowly beat a complacent incumbent. Up to then, a nose job was the only job that Duke had ever had. It was the beginning of David Duke's heyday, the period when he would come to the attention of millions of people worldwide as he ran a series of high-profile political campaigns. In late 1989, just months after winning his state campaign, he announced his candidacy in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate. Over the course of the next year, he would raise a remarkable $2.4 million, part of it through a political advertisement that asked supporters to call a fee-charging 900 number.

In the end, he won 607,391 votes, or almost 60 percent of the white vote, but lost the primary. Duke regrouped almost immediately, running for Louisiana governor against Edwin Edwards in a campaign marked by one of the most remarkable bumper stickers in political history: "Vote for the Crook. It's Important," devised by anti-Duke forces urging a vote for Edwards. Running in a crowded field, Duke, came within two percentage points of Edwards, forcing him into a run-off. In the run-off, Duke captured 671,009 votes, but lost to Edwards by 22 percentage points.

During the gubernatorial campaign, Duke held rally after rally, passing large plastic buckets through the crowds to raise cash-a method of fund-raising that is illegal under both Louisiana and Federal law, which requires that officials issue cash receipts and keep records of donations. After a lengthy investigation, Duke was fined $1,111.

Next, Duke announced with great fanfare that he would seek the Republican nomination for president of the United States in 1992. But his campaign fizzled as most potential supporters backed right-wing commentator Patrick Buchanan, who espoused many of the same positions as Duke without carrying his baggage. Of course, Duke never stood a chance, but that wasn't the point-he came out ahead no matter how he fared at the ballot box. According to Bridges' book, Duke told an assistant that by running for president he hoped to double the size of his computerized mailing list, which by now included 125,000 names. The list would be the source of future income.

Over the years, Duke would run for political office no less than 10 times. After a while, the spectacle of Duke as a perennial candidate-a man who seemed more interested in campaigning, and living off his campaigns, than in actually winning-started to wear thin on voters. But he still wielded considerable influence in Louisiana politics. In some cases, merely dipping his toe into a political campaign gave him leverage and bargaining power with other candidates.

After briefly entering the Louisiana governor's race in 1995, Duke dropped out and endorsed Mike Foster, a candidate who would go on to win the election. Duke's endorsement may well have given the edge to Foster, who had cut a back-room deal with the former imperial wizard, ostensibly to rent his mailing list for some $152,000. One Duke aide, Kenny Knight, told Talk magazine that he had met Foster secretly to work out details of the deal. Knight claimed that Foster agreed to Duke's three conditions: to switch from the Democratic to the Republican Party; to make his first act as governor the abolition of the state affirmative action program; and to never attack Duke. Knight said that Foster agreed to all three conditions. For his part, Foster did switch parties when he announced his candidacy, and then went on to eliminate the affirmative action program shortly after taking office.

Foster, who never used the list during his 1995 campaign, had attempted to hide his payment to Duke, routing it through intermediaries. After it was finally disclosed in 1999, the state Board of Ethics fined Foster $20,000 for failing to disclose the deal. Duke, meanwhile, was confronted by federal agents who asked him why he had failed to pay taxes on the income. Duke claimed his accountant had made a mistake, and hurriedly paid up his long-overdue taxes and penalties.

The high price of the mailing list-newspapers pointed out that it sold for much more than such lists normally do-raised suspicions about what it was that Foster had actually bought. Some critics suggested Duke was being paid off to stay out of the race. In any event, a federal grand jury looking into Duke's finances queried him two times in 1999 about the mailing list he had sold to Foster. Instead of answering, Duke took the Fifth Amendment.

Duke, realizing he was a target, was worried. He confided to Lori Eden, his girlfriend at the time, that he had lost at least $50,000 at the gaming tables. "I would ask him if he wanted to go to the casino," Eden told the Intelligence Report, "and he would say, 'No, I can't, because the FBI may see me, and they're on me.' "He knew way ahead of time that he was going to get in trouble. He made a comment to me once, 'I do love you, but I'm going to jail.' He also tried to hint that he wouldn't be around. What he meant was that he was going to Russia," added Eden, who at the time was a 33-year-old swimsuit and lingerie model with her own adult Web site. "He knew they were coming after him. So he made sure to get the hell out of here before they actually picked him up to question him."

Eden, who would break up with Duke when he left for Russia, said that at one point in the relationship she had a pregnancy scare. Duke, a self-described pro-lifer who has railed publicly against abortion for whites for years, suggested that they travel to Paris to get her the abortion pill that was then illegal in America. "He said, I know, I've been through this before,'" she recounted. "He also said that it would kill him politically."

It was during the 1990s, specifically between 1993 and 1999, that Duke was engaged in a long-running rip-off of his followers. FBI agents reported that Duke and his colleagues cooked up a series of false excuses for beseeching the faithful for evermore funds. In one letter, for instance, he claimed he was facing financial ruin and the loss of his home. In fact, he sold his Metairie home at a profit shortly after that letter and bought a larger residence in Mandeville, La. His staff "would laugh at the often untruthful excuses Duke concocted," an FBI affidavit said. Some of the proceeds from these bogus direct mail appeals were deposited in a bank account that was under the name of an ex-girlfriend, but controlled by Duke, who maintained "in excess of 30 credit cards," according to the FBI. During just one 16-month period, Duke collected $230,000 in small checks from his supporters.

Duke was simultaneously undergoing something of a political metamorphosis-or more accurately, a dropping of the mask. Since leaving the Klan, he had worked endlessly to put his Klan and especially his National Socialist past behind him. But in 1998, he self-published his autobiography, entitled My Awakening. The book, which Duke enthusiastically predicted would "change the course of history," did nothing of the kind. One reviewer said of My Awakening, "It's all right, the political and racial parts of it, although it's all been said before and better by others. Large sections of it are basically just narcissistic bullshit with Duke breaking his arm patting himself on the back. It certainly doesn't justify or ameliorate the harm Duke has done to the Movement with his constant financial and sexual misbehavior."

This did not preclude Duke from starting in early 2000 the National Organization for European American Rights (NOFEAR), which purported to be a group devoted to pursuing "civil rights" for whites, not to hating anyone. The next year, after a sporting goods company sued Duke over the use of its name, NOFEAR would be renamed the European-American Unity and Rights Organization (EURO).

On Nov. 16, 2000, a dozen federal agents raided Duke's two-story home in Mandeville and carted away 22 boxes of papers, computer discs, credit card records and other documents. Roy Armstrong, his long-time bodyguard and chauffeur, was there during the search and termed it a mere "fishing expedition." But Duke wasn't about to be reeled in-he was in Russia on his fourth visit, and he would not return to the United States until reaching a plea agreement in December 2002.

From a safe distance, Duke insisted on his innocence. "Make no mistake about it," he would write in a NOFEAR newsletter, "this probe is nothing more than a political assassination on the part of government officials who are seeking to silence my voice on our European heritage and rights." In the meantime, he said, he was moving to Moscow "to struggle against people of other colors and Jews."

It is clear that Duke understood perfectly that he was in trouble back home. That's why he spent the next two years traveling in Russia and throughout Europe, giving speeches and hobnobbing with other extremists. For some reason which was never explained, the government never issued a Federal fugitive arrant or asked the State Department to cancel his passport. Overall, he sought to give the impression that he was devoted to building a transnational movement. The reality, however, was that Duke spent most of his time selling his books, meeting privately with prominent rightists, and giving talks.

He was also desperately seeking to find a Russian or Eastern European woman willing to marry him, in order to obtain permanent citizenship in Russia or some other Eastern European country, before his passport expired and he was forced to either return to the United States or commit a clear federal felony by being abroad without a valid travel document, thus handing the government a handle on him and allowing them to issue a Federal fugitive warrant. However, for once, Duke's magnetic sex appeal seems to have failed him. Duke complained to his followers back home that while young and beautiful candidates for matrimony abounded, none of them wanted to remain in Mother Russia with him. Harfd-headed and practical and every bit as mercenary as he was, those Russian beauties were all looking for a green card to come to America, not shelter a fugitive American back home in Bumfucksk with no solid source of income.

By late 2002, with his passport almost expired, Duke's attorney was negotiating a plea agreement for his client, who had grown tired of being a nationalist without a nation. When news of the plea became public, Vince Breeding, national director of EURO, said Duke was pleading because he would surely lose in court at the hands of a mostly black jury. This is probably true. It is also certainly true that Duke was guilty as sin of embezzlement and monumental deceit and dishonesty, and he would have been convicted by an all-White jury as well. EURO communiqués painted the group's founder as "a living martyr for our cause." (Breeding, the former lead guitarist in a Satanic rock band called Acheron, was later expelled from Duke's EURO organization when he was caught running an internet porno operation off the group's servers-and not giving Duke a cut.)

On Dec. 14th, 2002, Duke slunk into a federal courthouse in New Orleans and pleaded guilty to tax evasion and mail fraud-ripping off hundreds of thousands of dollars from earnest white supremacist donors who thought they were helping Duke to save the white race. Instead, as Duke admitted in the allocution for his guilty pleas, he had cynically raised money by using a series of lies-and then blown it at casino craps tables. Under the terms of his plea bargain, he received a slap on the wrist sentence of 15 months in a low security prison.

It is a testament to the enduring quality of David Duke's hokum that while he was in prison, he continued to raise money by mail. (This is what the Jews call chutzpah, and Duke has enough of it for a dozen rabbis.) When he was released in May of 2004, it was ostensibly to a halfway house which he apparently never even bothered to check into, and no one knows how he got away with that.

David Duke hit the ground running, and in one of the most ghastly and surreal episodes in Movement history, he was welcomed back into the fold with open arms at a gala event by 400 supporters, hosted at a New Orleans luxury hotel, while some of the biggest names in the Movement gathered around this self-admitted thief on the speaker's platform and eulogized him to the stars. He was also spotted in a riverboat casino barely a month after his release, a dizzy blonde on his arm and rollin' dem bones like there was no tomorrow.

How does he get away with it? It is difficult not to speculate that Duke's surgically-enhanced handsome good looks have something to do with it, appealing to the homoerotic dimension that always lurks beneath the surface of the White Nationalist movement. It's like an abused spouse who refuses to leave her abuser. He beats her, she sees the lipstick on his collar and smells the liquor on his breath, she knows he's cheating on her and drinking up the rent money, but she just keps on bleating "But he's my husband! He's promised me he'll change, and this time I believe him!" The man's arrogance and his contempt for his supporters is nothing short of breathtaking-and they lap it up like candy and beg for more.

David Duke has been globetrotting around Europe again for almost two years now, living off donations he receives from the United States, sale of his books, etc. Precisely how a convicted Federal felon managed to obtain a passport from the State Department is a question which the Movement has apparently decided not to examine to closely. Or examine at all, in fact.

Once again, David Ernest Duke is doing what he does best. He's getting away with it.
